Abstract
Truth-Conditional Pragmatics is the view that the meaning of the sentence in an utterance does not alone yield a truth-conditional content (even after disambiguation and reference fixing); that meaning can be pragmatically supplemented in indefinitely many ways yielding indefinitely many truth conditions. Recanati urges a version of this doctrine. I argue that the prospects for the doctrine are dim. I also briefly indicate how the semantic tradition view might handle the context-relative phenomena that motives pragmatism.
